Warning! News Flash from Kent

Please help identify these interlopers. Are they clones or have they migrated across country? They are smaller than I imagined but appear healthy. I have left them in the wheelbarrow for the time being but have fed them on cream horns, eccles cakes and Crabbies Green Ginger Wine.

O NO Jacque !
You spotted them before me.
Well done. :o)
Are these anything like the one in your greenhouse ?

Seems they are cloning, but some of the hybrids are sprouting new bloomers, and eyeballs.
The rare red and blue bloomers only thrive in leafy gardens.
O NO. We've all got leafy gardens.
They'll be EVERYWHERE.

Eyeballs look shifty. Is that a secret camera ?
Kent Olympians, BEWARE.
You are under surveillance.

Gone on my favourites for further investigation.
Great work Gee19. :o)

I dooon,t believe it ................!

Not sure but maybe if you would not feed them, they would not come round...dangerous types...those are.

They could be heading your way Catfinch ~
be ready with the Eccles cakes.
Do you have those in the USA ???

I do not have clue what an Eccle cake is..

13 Nov, 2008

 

Eccles cakes were first made in Eccles, near Manchester, England.
to see photo and information:
www.prideofmanchester.com/foods/ecclescake.htm.

and ~ Wikipedia ~ Eccles cake.

Don't be alarmed that this cake has also been called the Squashed Fly Cake and the Fly's Graveyard. But it might explain why Gee19 was feeding them to the Flower Pot People :o)

lol i love Eccles cakes TT :) All those Raisans in yummi sweet stuff MMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm:)

13 Nov, 2008

 

What about Banbury cakes, Jacque.
Are they as yummy ?
According to Wikipedia they pre-date Eccles cakes by about 200 years.

But that might make them taste rather stale. LOL

13 Nov, 2008

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwww 200yr old cakes TT :/ Yuk i think id break my teeth on those lol :) Iv never heard of Banbury cakes ? Have u eaten any of them TT?

13 Nov, 2008

 

Yes I've eaten Banbury Cakes, but I don't think they were quite as old as 200 years. Lol.
They are quite similar to Eccles Cakes.
You'd like them Jacque !
www.banburycakes.co.uk/cakes.
They originate from Banbury in Oxfordshire. :o)

Gee, that is really funny...you did a good job on that photo

13 Nov, 2008

 

But did Gee19 do a good job on the poisoned Eccles Cakes with the squashed flies. ???
What was really in the cream horns ???
Why was the Ginger Wine that murky shade of GREEN ???

13 Nov, 2008

 

You've all got it wrong. The cakes weren't poisoned - the idea is the feed them so they get so fat they can't move far! The Crabbies Green Ginger wine is to slow them down even more - I hath thested the thinger threen thine (hic) to thake thure it thurks (hic) - and it thoes (hic). Juth going thor a slurp - whoops I mean sleep!

Quick eat a cream horn ~
antidote to all the dodgy wine. :o)

O NO TT !
The Flowerpot People are breeding; Gee19 is, erm, compromised; Catfinch hasn't got any Eccles Cakes and Jac is going to be ill after consuming all those 200yr old Banbury Cakes! It's a disaster!

13 Nov, 2008

Fear not my Fellow Olympians.
Skippy will come to the rescue.
She'll skip across from Greenlee County, Arizona, with lots of Greenlee wine, which is the cure for everything in Skippyland.
Greenlee grog is on its way for Gee, and Jacque and Catfinch. and Sid and ..... excuse me my glass is empty...:o)

13 Nov, 2008
